Definition Trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel opposite sides
Properties Angle Properties 1. *Consecutive angles are supplementary
*This property applies only to the indicated pairs of consecutive angles below (Angle RTP & Angle TPA, Angle TRA & Angle RAP) Example Proof:
Prove: Angle RAP and Angle TRA are supplementary This is the most important property of a trapezoid for the following reasons: - Given only one angle measurement from the two consecutive angle pair, the other angle measurement can be known using this property
